Serena rolled over in bed snuggling up closer to his chest while wrapping her arm around him. He reached over and took her arm holding it near to him while breathing in her intoxicating scent.

She turned around and started slowly kissing up his neck and then used her mouth to climb up, steadily moving higher until she was nibbling on his earlobe.

Darien let out a pleasured sigh and then quickly grabbed her by the arm and pinned her down beneath him to the bed threatening her with a salacious grin "I wouldn't start something you can't finish"

Serena looked up to him with a playful smile telling him back "maybe I have intentions of my own"

He raised one of his eyebrows and looked down on his little vixen questioning her "do you now and what might those be"

She gave him a seductive little smile and shook her head telling him "you'll have to let me up to see"

He let out a small laugh and loosened his hold on her arms as he brought his mouth down to her bare chest placing a kiss between her perky breasts then looked up telling her "no, I enjoy having you right where you are" as he lowered his head back down to her smooth skin kissing her right breast while his lips circled around her nipple.

Serena lied there feeling his mouth on her skin and the intensity he brought with him as he slowly lowered himself further down her body, planting kisses down along her skin as he went moving his hands down her legs leaving a trail of fire burning within her.

She could feel herself burning with want for him, wanting more, needing more as she cried out for him "Darien please" he looked to her with a little grin knowing exactly what heated her up inside and was happy to oblige.

Several hours later they emerged from his bedroom. She pulled her robe a little tighter closed blocking his view of the marks he had left on her chest asking him with a seductive smile "will you be calling on me later" He put a hand up to her cheek with a pleased grin telling her "you can count on it"

She gave him a knowing wink and told him slyly "I'll see you later then, don't keep me waiting too long" and then turned around to walk away slowly opening up her robe just enough to show off a peak of her chest as she started to walk towards her own room, but didn't get that far as he grabbed her arm pulling her back to him and pinned her up against the wall holding her tight up against it with his body as he brought his mouth down hard onto her bare chest.

He let out a loud groan tasting her sweet skin as a man starving would looking at a delicious feast, his hands slid up and down her body and finally under her bottom as she lifted her legs up wrapping them around his torso while his tongue longed for something juicier as she opened her mouth for him to taste.

He lifted his head up seeing her welcoming advance and put his mouth down grabbing on top of hers while his tongue slipped in through her parted lips as he massaged her tongue along with his own.

He couldn't help thinking she tasted so good as he lifted her up in his arms keeping her legs wrapped around him telling her "I will never get anything done as long as you continue to tempt me the way you do" as he carried her back into the bedroom, she closed the door behind them.

Serena walked into the kitchen hours later to grab a snack as Lita looked to the door hearing her enter and seeing Serena with her hair out of place in several different directions then covered her mouth to keep the knowing chuckle that wanted to escape, she looked to Serena saying "good morning or should I say afternoon"

Serena blushed knowing everyone in the household all knew they had not been able to keep their hands off each other the past several days and told her with a sly smile "Dar…I mean Lord Montgomery is looking for a snack do you have anything that could be a good refreshing snack for him"

Lita nodded her head knowing the food most likely would not be eaten, but used in different ways telling her "yes I have just the thing" as she handed Serena a bowl of grapes telling her "just picked them this morning"

Serena smiled taking the bowl from her hands thinking of several different uses for persuasion telling her "this will be perfect thanks"

She walked out of the kitchen towards his study and then entered inside without wasting the time to knock knowing he didn't mind her surprise visits over the past week and walked inside to see him sitting at his desk hard at work.

She walked over to his desk seeing how focused he looked, sitting there writing a letter and went behind his chair and slowly moved her hands along his chair, he didn't look up from what he was writing as she grinned a little and leaned up against his desk

She could hear him take a deep breath in knowing she was there. A small smile crossed her face as she started to lean down slowly against the back of his chair telling him behind his ear "I brought you a snack"

He kept his face like stone acting as though he wasn't paying attention to her advances and continued writing knowing the game that she played well telling her "I will have it later"

She looked to him with a sour face and then smiled knowing two could play this game and grabbed one of the grapes and sat down on the edge of his desk holding it up to her mouth as she slowly ran her tongue over it and gave the grape the slightest squeeze then ran it against her tongue.

He shook his head trying to keep focus, keeping his eyes away from her and how she tempted him and focused down on what he was writing even though right now his mind seemed blank stating "it won't work this time"

She had a little grin on her face knowing she always won and held the grape up to her mouth, holding it between her teeth before taking it back out between her fingers telling him with a seductive look "I am up for the challenge" then put the grape up to her lips while her tongue slowly licked over its skin before leaning back on his desk and opening her mouth up wide entirely devouring the grape into her mouth.

The next thing she knew he was standing up from his chair and had his hands down on her hips guiding her down onto to his lap telling her "you better share now"

She gave him a playful smile as she took another grape from the bowl holding it out she told him "come and get it" then leaned back, all the way back against his desk placing the grape down the low cut of her blouse between her breasts.

Darien shook his head as he watched her lie there before him tempting him and gulped down hard as he told her "don't mind if I do" then reached down putting his hands on both sides of her chest as he quickly pulled down the material of her blouse lower and grabbed the grape within his teeth as he swallowed it down telling her "now it's my turn to play"

Serena smiled feeling his hands roam slowly down her body and using his other hand to quickly move some of the papers on his desk away so he could have better access to her then reached down placing his hand onto her chest he told her "all you had to do was say please"

She looked up to him with a little grin saying back "I'll do much more than that" as he took a deep breath and then brought his mouth down to her neck as she moaned out "yes please"

Darien slowly removed himself from inside of her as he placed his hand out to help her off his desk. She came up slowly feeling thoroughly thrilled and held onto his arms for support, then looked behind her at the mess of papers on his desk that they had caused then let out a small giggle telling him "I'm sorry. I hope I didn't mess up your papers"

He took one of his hands and gently reached up touching her face gently telling her "you most certainly did, but it was worth it. You can mess my papers up as often as you wish" as he took another grape from the bowl and popped it into his mouth chewing on it slowly.

Serena blushed knowing tomorrow she would find a different game to distract him as he put his hand down on her leg rubbing it up and down telling her "I must be getting back to what I was doing before I enjoyed my snack"

She hopped down off his desk and leaned forward moving her hand to his member telling him "I am certain I can find a way to distract you some more my lord"

He let out a deep breath hearing her promising words and then reached down and caught hold of her hand with a little shake of his head saying "not yet, I must try to focus here" then leaned over kissing her neck as she let out a pleasured moan he told her "why don't you be going. I will see you later at supper and then I will have my desert"

She nodded her head knowing playtime was over for now and how serious he became when it came to his work telling him "alright" and then stood up and started to walk away from the room, but then stopped and turned to look at him sitting there at his desk writing she asked "would it be alright if I stayed. I won't be a distraction to you I promise"

He looked up to her from the letter he was writing knowing just being near to her was enough to cause a distraction and shook his head telling her "I don't know"

Serena crossed the room over to his bookshelves and quickly grabbed a book she had been reading and curled up into his favorite chair by the fireplace telling him "you won't even know I'm here"

He highly doubted that could be possible, but nodded his head telling her "very well"

Darien sat down at his desk holding his quill in his hand not writing a single word as he saw her crawled up in his chair reading a book and every once in a while her lip would curl up into a smile or she would let out a small giggle while he tried to focus on what he had to do, but having her so near presented an added challenge.

Finally he finished writing his last letter then sealed up his accounts and locked his ledger in the safe behind them then stood up from his desk and walked over to see Serena sleeping on his chair holding the book in her hand.

He slowly removed the book placing it on the small table nearby then reached down and carefully picked her up into his arms, careful not to wake her as she curled up against his chest, he carried her out from the study.

He slowly walked up the stairs holding her close to him, taking in each breath that she took as he looked up and saw Ami walking down the steps looking to him concerned asking "is Serena alright?"

He nodded his head looking down at the sleeping beauty in his arms telling her "yes just tired her out, let Lita know we will be having supper in my room this evening and to leave the food by the door"

Ami nodded her head expectantly telling him "yes my lord" as she went past him with a little grin while he continued to carry Serena the rest of the way back to his room.

Darien walked inside his bedroom and gently lied her down across his bed then grabbed a blanket nearby putting it over her, then watched with a little smile as she immediately curled up next to it comfortable on his bed. He took the chair across from her sitting quietly while watching her sleep.

She had been napping for close to an hour when he saw her start tossing in her sleep, she appeared to be struggling as if she were fighting something or someone off as she started moaning out loudly.

He quickly got up from the chair and sat down next to her on the bed then shook her shoulder lightly telling her "wake up Serena, wake up your having a nightmare"

Serena woke up blinking her eyes and realized where she was and with whom, then without warning she reached out wrapping her arms around his waist asking him "please just hold me"

Darien wrapped his arms tightly around her and lied down next to her on the bed holding her tight up against his chest, he took a deep breathe thinking to himself this would be a first to comfort a woman on his bed who was lying right up next to his chest without making a move to touch her.

He leaned down and kissed the top of her head comfortingly telling her "it's alright" feeling as she relaxed into his warm arms.

Serena lied there taking a few deep breaths feeling her heart beat going back to normal, but was still unable to go back to sleep. She could feel his warm hold around her as he held her close to him she snuggled up closer enjoying his closeness asking gently "tell me something about you?"

His eyes opened wide not expecting to hear her question and she could feel in his hold now, how suddenly tense he became as she started telling him to ease into the conversation "I was raised by my aunt after my mother died. She died giving birth to me"

Darien sat there holding her in his arms and didn't understand why she was telling him all this, but even more so by his genuine response telling her "I'm sorry for your loss"

Serena shrugged her shoulders back telling him innocently "I'm ok with it. I never met her only heard stories that she was very beautiful, so what about you?"

He lied there holding her in his arms hearing her speak of her mother as a beautiful person, while he had the most extraordinary beautiful woman right here in his own bed as he watched her sit up on the bed next to him unsure what she was getting at when he heard her ask "what about your family?

Darien laughed seeing the intrigued look on her face and reached his arms back behind his head thinking to himself that he hadn't thought about his actual family for many years and told her "I guess you could say you and I are similar in that aspect"

She tilted her head to the side giving him that Serena look of hers asking "how so?"

Darien took a deep breath not thinking of those times before in many years he told her "I was raised by my uncle, we never did see things eye to eye, but I suppose in many ways he showed me what it means to be a man. The importance of always being in control and showing no weakness"

Serena looked to him with her eyes open wide hearing him speak with such admiration for the man as she asked "what?"

He put his hand under her chin to lift her head up to face him and explained coldly "he showed me what it is to hold power over others, they must fear you otherwise they will not show there respect for you"

Serena gulped hearing him speak such cold words and then nodded her head sadly thinking of the deep scars he must have inside after being raised by such a man and only being surrounded by those that respected him out of fear, instead of showing love and comfort she shook her head asking him "what about your parents?"

He stopped for a moment picturing their faces in his mind and put his hand back down not thinking of them in many years he told her quietly "both of my parents died when I was a young boy"

Serena nodded her head sadly knowing what it felt like to be raised by another who did not show love or care or want her around at all asking him "where is your uncle now?"

Darien shrugged his shoulders showing no concern for his uncle telling her "I do not know. We do not speak much after a falling out several years back, that is when I came here to stay at castle hill"

Serena smiled hearing the name he used as she asked curiously "castle hill why do you call it that?"

He had not thought of it in many years the story behind the manor, but still knew every detail about it and could hear his father's voice in his head explaining it to him

He let out a deep breath telling her "when my parents were young my mother was with child, my father promised my mother he would one day build her a castle. She died of fever not long after and the child did not survive before the manor could be completed when I was still a young boy, but my father kept his promise to her and had this place built brick by brick in her memory. He called it her castle and so it was nicknamed castle hill for the hill it sits upon"

Serena smiled hearing such a story of a devoted love from him she told him kindly "that's a beautiful story of our parents"

Darien sat up on the bed finished with thinking of them and going down with such memories, the past would do him no good as he let out a deep breathe.

Serena sat there seeing how he suddenly cut her off after speaking of his parents wondering how difficult it must have been for him to lose two loving parents and be raised by another who was so cold. She moved herself behind him and wrapped both her arms around his shoulders asking him gently "what is it tell me please?"

Darien shook his head knowing things were becoming far too much, this conversation had gone too far and stood up from the bed telling her "it's nothing"

Serena knew by his actions she had mentioned too much, pushed too far and whatever demons were hidden inside of him wanted to be let out. She stood up from the bed and walked up in front of him putting her hands up on his chest telling him "I'm sorry if I asked for too much"

Darien let out a deep sigh looking down into her endless blue eyes and put his hands on top of her own telling her "I don't like to focus on the past there is nothing that the past can do, it is here and gone. I prefer to look towards the future"

Serena took a deep breath knowing he wanted to forget about what he spoke of to her, his past. She looked up to him treading carefully and reached up to his cheek telling him "you are right what we do with our choices reflect what our futures will be, but it is what happened in the past that molds our ways of thinking and how we handle things, that is what I have always believed anyway"

Darien looked down at her surprised hearing her words asking puzzled "how do you do that?"

Serena looked to him unsure by his response questioning "do what?"

Darien looked to her and shook his head, then removed her hand from his face and walked away as he turned back to her asking "take a negative and turn it to a positive"

Serena looked to see him standing on the other side of the room and stood tall knowing all the challenges she has faced stating "I choose not to dwell on the bad circumstances I cannot change, otherwise there would not be anything to look forward to, so why bother living"

Darien looked to her hearing her words then let out a small chuckle telling her "you see things in a far different way than many others in your situation would do"

Serena looked to him hearing his way of taking back control then sat back down on the bed asking "is that a bad thing"

Darien let out a small laugh hearing the way she spoke to him, going against all his plans he started telling her "no it's not. In my experience people are judged by what they can get out of others? What use they hold? What is being given or taken from them"

Serena nodded her head knowing the pleasure he got out of always being in control and taking control away from others she told him firmly "power and control are all well and good, but without respect how do you know who your friends are and who your enemies are"

Darien shook his head not taking any serious thought to her words telling her "friends are for the weak as long as there are those that understand the power that I hold over them they fear me and show there respect"

Serena looked to him hearing his way of thinking and felt saddened as she shook her head telling him "power without respect, sounds like a very lonely way to live your life"

He looked to her oddly hearing her way of seeing the world and laughed stating "Serena in my position fearing me is what keeps me in command to show no weakness. I hold the power over all others to keep them in line and you too"

Serena looked back at him with a nod of her head knowing the power he held, then took a deep breathe saying back "those with the most power have the most control and are often left with nothing to show for it"

Darien looked back at her hearing almost the challenge behind her statement and crossed his arms knowing she was the only one who would dare speak to him to him in that manner and that he would actually let her do so and looked to her intrigued stating "you don't fear me do you?"

Serena looked back at him knowing how he felt about having power and control over her, then thought about it for a moment and shook her head replying "I fear the way I feel when I am near you"

Darien looked to her with a little grin and nodded his head replying "I see and how is that"

Serena shook her head seeing the sharp look in his eyes returning and stood up from the bed as she walked over to him standing inches away saying "I am confused" then placed her hands up onto his chest as he placed his hand over her own she told him "I see the man in front of me, but also something else hidden deep inside of you"

Darien looked to her feeling pierced under her gaze then let out a deep laugh as he looked down at his penis getting hard by her closeness asking "deep inside of me huh?"

Serena nodded her head knowing what he wanted from her and she would comply willingly, but first placed her hand up to his cheek telling him "yes, I see the man that you could become the only question I wonder is which path you will choose to follow for yourself"

Darien looked down into those blue eyes of hers and saw something there looking back at him that left him feeling uncertain as he put his hand up by her face telling her "no more talking now" as he lowered his mouth down to her neck and started kissing downward.

She dropped her head back as she let out a moan of pleasure then felt his tongue travel further down along her chest to her breasts, waiting for his deep caress as she let out a deep sigh and told him "Darien"

He let out a small groan from hearing the interruption again asking annoyed "what is it?"

Serena put her hands down through his hair holding his mouth against her warm skin telling him sweetly "thank you for opening up and listening to me, no one has ever taken the time or interest to do so before"

Darien looked up at her seeing the sincerity of her words, but would not let himself dwell on it then reached down and picked her up by her waist as she wrapped her legs around his waist he told her "I would love to make you open up even further and hear you scream out loud" as he carried her back to the bed and lied her down beneath him.

Serena took a deep breath feeling his warm kisses against her heated skin, she knew he had his own personal demons he was fighting back that she had released and he was using her to help chase them away, when he unexpectedly grabbed her arms pinning them above her head and then rolled her over onto her stomach as he entered inside her from behind.

Serena took a deep breath feeling him fill her up as she felt the power and control he had over her, but also wondered about the loneliness he kept hidden inside.
